Queens Park Ranger owner Tony Fernandes had this message for his players after their 2-0 defeat at Everton — I’ll chop anyone who’s not committed to the club.

Fernandes (below) vented his frustration through Twitter yesterday, saying: ‘Clear to me who is committed and who is not.

‘I will clean up and have right attitude. Lots will change.’

Departing? QPR look set to rebuild their squad at the end of the season

Earlier, he tweeted: ‘I went to
dressing room after game. Talked to players. It’s clear who is
committed. Last man to leave was Christopher Samba.’

Manager Harry Redknapp’s frustrations
at his team’s lack of fight boiled over at Goodison. After the 17th
defeat of their campaign — the inept, undisciplined manner of which
means it is a case of ‘when’ not ‘if’ QPR will be relegated — Redknapp
delivered a withering critique of his players, questioning their talent
and resolve.

‘Relegation for a club so brimming
with highly paid players could be ruinous and, despite Fernandes’
tweets, Redknapp does not envisage a fire sale once the inevitable
occurs. ‘They won’t go,’ he said.

‘How are you going to get rid of
them? That’s your biggest problem. They all have contracts. I wish you
were right, and you could say… [the players would leave], but it ain’t
going to happen here.

How are they going to go? Who is
going to pay them what they are earning here? It is going to be very
hard to shift them. It is not a case of players wanting to leave
suddenly. I hear all the time that if they get relegated, they want to
go because they don’t want to play in the Championship.

‘But if they f****** played better,
then they would not be in the Championship so that’s a load of cobblers.
I don’t know the financial situation of the club at all. Only the
chairman would know. I’ve not spoken to anyone about my position, to be
honest. I’ve not even thought about it.’

Only Julio Cesar, the Brazilian
goalkeeper, showed anything like the class and courage needed to excel
in the Barclays Premier League — his efforts prevented Everton doubling
their victory, secured with goals from Darron Gibson and Victor
Anichebe.

If Redknapp’s thoughts are fraught,
for David Moyes the opposite is true. Should they win at Arsenal
tomorrow night, they would have a glorious chance of qualifying for the
Champions League; and the role Anichebe has played should not be
understated.

‘My patience has been tested on him a
few times because, at times, his attitude wasn’t always what it should
have been,’ said Moyes. ‘Something had to change with Victor.

‘He’s realised that if you want to be successful in this game, all the top players run around and work hard.’
